I was at Central Market and bought a salad that had red & green whole grapes, walnuts and blue cheese that was wonderful. Does anyone have this recipe? Thanks, Nancy <strong><em><p>TMS: This recipe IS sweet. The blue cheese salad sounds wonderful. I love blue cheese.

I find it to be completely unnecessary overkill. Everyone loves mine. I also add a drizzle of vanilla to the cream cheese mixture and toast the pecans prior to chopping. It adds a lot if depth and contrast with the sweet grapes.</p> <strong><em><font color="blue">TMS: Thanks for the suggestions, Laurinda.

Sounds a tad sweet. After all, grapes are used as sweetening. <strong><em>Carol:  It IS too sweet for my taste.  However, at the meeting the other day people were going back for second and third servings!  I may do a little experimenting and leave out some of the sugar.</em></strong> I was right with you until I saw the brown sugar.
